According to Mrs. Kuukua Bissue Boateng, the Sportyfest was designed to unearth, nurture and showcase the hidden talents of the youths and also to elevate Ahanta West on the global sports platforms.

The idea is to also bring people of different political inclination to play and foster unity among Ahanta youths to facilitate the needed development that will benefit all constituents, irrespective of one's political affiliation.

In other disciplines, Agona Ahanta emerged as the winner in both the draft and card competitions.
